Dog Sitting in Justice

About: Ever since I was a kid there was always animals in my home. Currently I care for 17 chickens and a bearded dragon. Not the easiest but I love them a lot. I’ve been babysitting my neighbors dogs for about 2 years until she retired and I just can’t seem to get away from care for animals. I do work a part time job but it’s about 3 mins from my house and I get to go home for all my breaks to take care of the animals and check up on them. I always get weekends off I will take your animals for walks all the time. Anything they need they will receive. I will care for them as if they were my own.

“Angelina was wonderful! She took great care of our elderly cat and had helpful suggestions for some of his ailments. We will definitely have her back again the next time we are traveling.”

“Sarah is so kind and caring with our energetic puppy! She creates a nurturing and playful environment to keep him busy while we're gone. I highly recommend her!”

Gabrielle S.

“Max was very helpful when I booked him last minute. He was on time for all of his visits, took great photos of our elderly dog and was extremely gently and kind. He definitely has a special touch for animals!”

Grace K.

“Lexi is amazing! I was fortunate to find her in a last-minute situation, and she enthusiastically took on three drop-in visits with less than 24 hours’ notice. My timid rescue beagle warmed up to her immediately, she followed very specific instructions perfectly, and I will definitely be using her services again!”

About: I am a dog lover who enjoys having fun with dogs. I am available for any and all of your pet’s needs. Your dog will have all the time for fun and exercise. I love dog walks, playing tug of war, fetch, and games like find the treat, toy, etc. Your dog will be well fed and walked to their hearts content. I am accommodating, any request you make can and will be followed through. I have a large fenced in yard and plenty of space inside my house for the colder months. Your pup is allowed on all the furniture, beds included. Playing is my favorite thing to do. But most importantly, I will treat your dog as it is my own. I am a college student so time is of the essence. I love dogs of all sizes, puppies included. I can pick up and drop your pet off if necessary for a small round trip fee. I care for my own pets everyday, their well-being is my well-being. I will surely care for your pet like my own whenever they are here. I make sure the pups are well fed, exercised, and mentally stimulated. By including my own dogs into activities I see the other pets become more comfortable to the point where they’re acting like my house is theirs.

About: I’ve been working with animals professionally since I was 19 — I’m now 26. Over the years, I’ve worked as a vet assistant, a professional groomer, and at a pet store, gaining hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. These days, my main focus is boarding, walking, and house sitting — and it’s something I genuinely love doing. What sets my care apart is the family-style experience I offer. When your dog stays with me, they aren’t just being watched — they’re becoming part of our daily life. It’s usually me, my young son, and my partner Brian. We go on nature walks, play outside, and include your dog in everything like they’re part of the crew. This isn’t just pet sitting — it’s a second home. I’ve found that so many dogs (and their humans) are looking for that feeling of safety, love, and belonging — even if they haven’t put it into words yet. That’s exactly what I try to create here. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities — including shy rescues, high-energy pups, and seniors. I’m trained in animal behavior, have my own vehicle, and can adapt to your dog’s specific needs and temperament. 🚗 Please note: For boarding in my home, dogs must be comfortable around kids and okay with cats, since we do have both. I want everyone (human and animal) to feel safe and relaxed. Whether your pup needs playtime, quiet time, cuddles, or space, I always meet them where they are — with patience, love, and respect. I work from home part time, so your fur baby will fit in perfectly with my schedule. I am looking for something to do that will occupy more of my time, and what better way than to spend it with a new furry friend to love?! I have a fenced yard and a friendly cat who is more like a dog. I can keep him separate if ever needed. My house is a little over 1,300 sq ft so there’s plenty of space. If you need your pet to be crated I am comfortable with that. As well as if any medication is needed to be given or frequent walks. I will always respect the home of the pet and owner. Just point me where I need to go with some guidance regarding you fue baby’s routine, you are in great hands!

About: I volunteered at an animal shelter in high school for 3 years. As an adult I have previously worked at an animal shelter for 3 years. For the past 10 years pet sit for friends and family when they go out of town. I currently work full time Monday though Friday from 7:00am to 3:30pm. I'd be able to do nights after that time or I'd be able to do weekends. I treat all animals as if they were my own pets. I make sure they have everything they need and that they stay safe while they are in my care, whether it's watching them at your home or taking them out for their walks.

About: I treat every pup like my own. If your dog isn't napping or resting, we'll be active and engaged. That may include playing with their favorite toy, going on a walk, or getting plenty of belly rubs and pats. I believe dogs thrive on love, attention, and activity. Therefore, I make sure they're never bored or lonely. I'm currently a student at UIC with one class online and one class in person. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me plenty time for walks, drop-ins and overnight care. Your dogs safety and comfort are my top priorities. On walks, I let your pep lead the way so they can explore at their own pace. I love finding nearby parks where they can burn energy. It I'm caring for a pet in your home, I'll always follow your instructions closely to maintain their normal routine.

About: I am careful to heed owners instructions on how to care for their furbaby to create peace of mind and maintain a respectful relationship between the animals and humans. I work Full-time on the weekend. I can accept reservations and check-ins starting by 3PM on Mondays. Pets must be checked-out/picked up by 3PM Saturday. Currently have 2 Siberian huskies to entertain your pooch. Both huskies are well-socialized and engage very well with other canines. House is cleaned and sanitized on the daily to prevent any contagious illnesses. Exercise is done through nature trails in the area. If owners are comfortable with dog parks, I am a member to multiple private dog parks to ensure privacy and freedom to run around from other unauthorized/stranger canines.

About: I’ve worked with 100 different dogs at once worked with small dogs and big dogs had them in one play area kennel tech as well I am open availability can work holidays weekends and nights or mornings Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday sat and Sunday prefer mornings but can do I have a fence in yard and have my own dog to play with keep company I have a create if need be I have tons of toys and treats

About: I have had my dog now for almost 10 years. I used to care for my dog as well as a roommates dog at one point. I can give medications and can provide First Aid/Heimlich if needed. Strong enough to hold back and tame my 60 pound Boxer mix. I’ve also helped care/walk my sisters Great Dane and my friends smaller dogs for 7 years or so. I love animals and if you have other little friends who need care, just let me know what to do and I’ll do it. I work night shift as an ICU Nurse so I’m home all day. I can pop in and check on your babies any time during the day. I would need to know in advance only cause I do eventually sleep during the day. I’m aware you are trusting me with one of the most important members of your family, I’ll be happy to leave a photo and an update of any changes , good or bad, so you can enjoy some peace of mind that everything is alright.

“Melissa was great!! Like most I was so anxious to leave my dog while at work all day. She was awesome with my dog and sent pics of him looking so happy and gave him treats. I video chatted with her prior and knew she truly is an animal lover.”

About: When I come in contact with any other dog than mine. I treat them like my own and would do anything to see them smile. Currently I’m working part time however I’m trying to switch over, to volunteer in a shelter so I can add more knowledge about dogs and skills. The apartment complex I live in is perfect for walking around outside and to socialize with other dogs. The balcony is perfect for fresh air and a nice view of other buildings.

About: I grew up in a house full of animals, from dogs and cats to snakes and birds. They’ve all held a special place in my heart and I’ve had to help with the wide range of care that they all needed since I was 10. I have always prided myself on being responsible and trustworthy, something that I believe to have stemmed from caring for our animals as a kid. I currently work full time as an EMT, however, I only work about 3 days a week due to long shifts. So I’m just looking at finding something productive and fun to keep me busy on my off days :) I have two cats, a snake, fish tanks, and 3 hermit crabs. That being said, I am not able to dog-sit here but am more than able to do drop in visits instead. I don’t think my cats would appreciate a strange new furry friend (or maybe enemy haha) in their space.

About: I have 3 animals and have actively taken part in rescuing 2 dogs and one cat. I also have lots of experience with walking rescue animals. I currently dont have a job so im always home alone when my moms at work (5 days out the week) so i often have to care for my two dogs and one cat daily. I give them water and breakfast before i take them on a morning walk (typically 10-20 mins) then we hangout and play until its time for their evening walk. I sometimes go a bit overboard with treats.

“Tara is extraordinarily helpful. I needed someone to visit my cat short notice, and she was on her way to my house within a few minutes. Tara loves pets passionately and it shows in everything she does. She is tuned into cats and gives Jim Catsby so much attention in ways that he enjoys—petting, brushing, etc. Awesome! 10 stars!”

About: My name is Brianna and I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I currently have 2 in my home, a friendly and sweet whippet/greyhound mix who is 9 years and a energetic and curious German boxer. I have experience with puppies through older adult dogs as well as small breeds through extra large. I work from home so am able to accommodate most schedules. I have 3 years of experience administering both oral medications and injections for dogs needing medical support. My home is quiet, child free and comfortable for both older dogs needing place to rest as well as energetic pets ready to play! Send me a message and I would be happy to set up a meet and greet with you and your pet.

“Desiree was fabulous with our rescue pup, who is a very nervous girl indeed, and our rescue cat, who is the consummate international man of mystery when it comes to hiding out.. I recommend her without reservation!”
